Is there a "right way" to wear a watch? No. There are however, plenty of judgemental NPC's on the internet who will quite happily tell you how to live your life. They're not the kind of people you should listen to.

Richierich commented on Share your opinion on german watch brands! ·

I have a SInn 104 and really like it. It's well put together and wears very well. The Bauhaus style (Junghans / Nomos) doesn't really appeal to me, but I wouldn't buy an Orient Bambino for the ame reason. But there are many other non-Bauhaus German watches that I like. The Glashutte SeaQ is amazing, as is the Oris 65 and Big Crown. Most A Lange watches are outrageously great.

Clearly you're wrong.

"the last thing that any nation needs is a force made up of people who are likely to have been traumatised by their military service policing the streets."

You disagree with ex military. The only argument you put forward is that they are traumatised. What else am I expected to take from this statement?

Richierich commented on Watch Crime - Paul Thorpe raising awareness on UK television ·

You implied their incompetence when you suggested they were all traumatised and therefore unable to do the job.

Richierich commented on Watch Crime - Paul Thorpe raising awareness on UK television ·

I must say in my experience, you could not be further from the truth. In my place of work, we have schemes to get ex military people into employment, and I have worked with a few of them now. I find them to be highly competent and capable individuals. No problems at all, and I would not hesitate to wok with any of them again.
